Compiling Qt 4.3.2 for Visual Studio 2005 + Setting up Visual Studio 2005 Integration
=====================================================================================
1.) Unzip "qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.2.zip" to a directory (e.g.: F:\MyProgies\Qt4).
This folder is from now on called QTDIR. Make sure that your partition has at
least 2 GB free space that is needed to compile the Q-Toolkit on your computer.
2.) Start the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Promt" using the Start Menu of Windows.
The command prompt is located within the "Visual Studio Tools".
3.) Goto the QTDIR using the "cd" command, e.g.:
F:
cd F:\MyProgies\Qt4
4.) Type the following line and press enter:
configure -buildkey msvc2005 -qt-gif -qt-sql-odbc -qt-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support
If you need backward compatibility and want to compile Qt 3.X applications you
should remove the last command line argument ("-no-qt3support"). If not you should
add it to fasten the compile process.
5.) Type the following line and press enter to start the compilation:
nmake
NOTE: this can take up to an hour depending on your processor and hard disk.
6.) You should clean up the installation of Qt which should take up about 2 GB on
you hard disk by entering the following command (NOTE: !!! create a backup of
your QTDIR\lib directory first, because some Qt versions also clean that
directory. Copy the files back after the command has finished !!!):
nmake clean
Now the QTDIR folder should only be about 0.5 GB in size.
7.) Press <Windows>+<Pause> to bring up the "System Settings" of Windows. Now choose
the "Advanced" tab and click the "Environment Variables" button.
@ user variables list:
* Edit the INCLUDE variable and append the QTDIR\include folder to it.
(e.g. by appending "; F:\MyProgies\Qt4\include" without double quotes)
* Edit the LIB variable and append the QTDIR\lib folder to it.
(e.g. by appending "; F:\MyProgies\Qt4\lib" without double quotes)
+ Create a new variable called QMAKESPEC and add "win32-msvc2005" as content.
(e.g. QMAKESPEC should contain "win32-msvc2005" without double quotes)
@ system variables list:
* Edit the PATH variable and append the QTDIR\bin folder to it.
(e.g. by appending "; F:\MyProgies\Qt4\bin" without double quotes)
+ Create a new variable called QTDIR and add the QTDIR as content.
(e.g. QTDIR should contain "F:\MyProgies\Qt4" without double quotes)
Close the dialog by clicking OK. Close the "System Settings" by clicking OK again.
8.) Install the Qt Visual Studio Integration 1.2.2.
9.) Start Visual Studio 2005 and goto "Extras->Options...". Open the "Qt" tree item and
select the node called "Builds". Click on "Add" and enter the following data:
Name: Qt-4.3.2
Path: Your QTDIR (e.g.: F:\MyProgies\Qt4)
10.) ENJOY building Qt applications under Windows.
alles muss von Visual Studio aus funktionieren, das sind die Windows user halt gewöhnt...
